Prakritilaya Nature Homes

What Our Guests Say

Abi Rajan

Staying at Prakritilaya homestay was one of the best things happened in 2020 amid of all these chaos. We were stressed staying in - work from home, covid lockdown and all the other 2020's chaos. Arun, who runs this place, helped us with each and every way of the process. Read more

And about the stay: If you want to stay in eco-friendly atmosphere, amid of tea plantations and forests, and also with good home cooked meals, this is your place. If you are lacking motivation and want to get inspired for your work, or if you want to chill with your friends, or if you want you want a peace of mind for a while, or if you want to write a book and for 'n' number of reasons, you can go here.

What can we do here?

Our itinerary was simple but we enjoyed the whole two days. We get up, we went for meditation - sitting on a rock - in the middle of tea plantation. Arun gave us a small lecture on nilgiris ecosystem. Then, we had breakfast and tea (herbal tea). We went on a small trek - came back, shower, rest, go on a drive around the mountains(best views - bike ride is recommendable) - came back for the tasty snack and tea - watching movies, reading a book, writing articles, playing boardgames - best walks under the moonlight.

I can rate 5/5 for this place.

A place which is heaven on the earth I can say. Such serene scenic and nature's god's own resort. Starting with their signature welcome drink amla juice and the food made organically, rich in taste is served hott with love and care and utmost hospitality. Read more

Was surprised to see the owners themselves somuch involved in serving their guests with such humbleness and warmth. One can have a very different experience of tasting fine food, great variety of teas especially with peace in abundance surrounded by tea estates, and adventures of trekking too. Congrats to the host Arun who is well read and a Post graduate in Eco-Tourism in Scotland, a great certified passionate mountaineer with a great concern about recycling and the waste management in eco way! Can't be without mentioning their signature mixed fruit jams made frm fruits grown in their own organic farm, which is specially made by his mother. Not the least, a special mention about his younger brother Gokul, who spins around seeing every thing is perfectly done as a pillar of strength, to his brother. This wonderful family will make yr stay a memorable one for sure. God bless Prakritilaya Nature Homes to reach great heights !

In the time of pandemic, we (3 families with six children) wanted a quiet getaway with a lot of fun and excitement. We got more than we expected in Prakritilaya. The property is inside a tea estate which gives a very serene experience. As soon as we landed we were greeted well and made us feel at home. Read more

I need to mention about the owner Arun who is a passionate and enthusiastic nature lover. He took us to untapped mountains and treks which were very much enjoyed by us including my five year old niece and nephews. Tea trails walk and bio diversity walk gave us stupendous experience. Food was excellent. It’s of five star quality. It's more than a homely food served with hospitality. Next day we went to Thoda village trip. We spent a day there. Experiencing the Thoda's culture, conical temple and home made food & embroideries. It was a lifetime experience for all of us. This village was hidden inside a forest. Atmosphere and whole experience transported us to a different world altogether. We stayed for four days. We did not go to Ooty or Conoor as we were having all the fun in nature home itself. Instead of hustle busting crowded places, we were all experienced a quiet, fun filled getaway. In the midst of the cold weather, I saw sun rise in the mornings and night sky was fantabulous with so many stars. I had leisurely walk around in the morning with my loved ones. We had a campfire night on the final day which added icing on the cake to our trip. It was hard to leave the property after four days of homely environment. Looking forward for my next trip. Kudos to Arun and team for providing an excellent experience blended with nature.

Happiness Gets best accommodation with green and nature place. The tea garden around us was beautiful. Only the best VEGETARIAN food is served all the time. Each item is inspected before being served. Ingredients are sourced locally and … Read more

found in space-grown vegetables. Hospitality & Safety is top notch. Comfortable room, very clean and hygienic toilets and bathrooms. As the name suggests, immerse yourself in nature and dissolve the mind ( PRAKRITILAYA). It was the best weekend relaxation. We Loved it. Special arrangements were made for the tea factory visit which was informative and my kid thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you very much to the management and the staff members.
